Dear Mr. Shelley:
In response to your letter of August 5th regarding the striping of fire lanes in MacArthur Park, the
following is the City of Coppell Engineering Department's position:
According to the wording in the Maintenance Bond that states, "Principal will furnish a bond
conditioned to guarantee for the period of two years after approval...against all defects in
workmanship and materials which may become apparent during the said period...". Further stated
in the bond, "the Principal shall indemnify the Obligee for all loss that the Obligee may sustain by
reason of any defective materials or workmanship which become apparent during the period..."
Because of excessive wear and unusual fading, we feel that substandard paint and workmanship
was used for fire lane striping and we are, therefore, at this time attempting to exercise our rights
under the terms of the bond. If you would care to meet with me onsite, I am available. Please
contact me at 972-304-7090.
